your tank dimensions are around 25” square, correct?
there are alot of puck type lights that would cover that. You could also use 24” LED bars. Either option would necessitate you getting rid of the top and, depending on your inhabitants, getting a screen top Or building a replacement canopy.
I looked at a number of options when I recently upgraded my 32 gallon Fluval flex. I wen with 3 Orphek OR3 60 (24” bars) and their Osix controller. Like you, I had to replace the stock top and I replaced it with a wood canopy. I am well pleased with the upgrade and they have more than enough power.
Thanks for the feedback. Do you have any pics of your setup i reference? I'm not very familiar with the "puck" lights. I was wondering if adding and xr15 or xr30 is sufficient or overkill?
I don’t have any good photos on my iPad. The one below was a quick stage test I was doing. I do have a bit about it in my build thread.
the second photo I snapped last night of my hammers and frogspawn. It was shot with an orange camera filter.

Couple AI Blades. 2 Grow to start. Can add a Glow later if you want more violet light added. Mine have been rocking my tank since February. No current pics but will try to grab one once I clean the glass lol
They have multiple ways. The have tank mounts included that rest on the rim of the tank. Or you can buy some that elevate the lights about 4" over the tank. Mine are hung from the ceiling on some 80/20. Pics in my build thread of my whole setup

Reefi Lab Uno 2.0. hands down the best light available right now on the market due to the sheer power of these lights. at 277 watts total they will grow ANYTHING. I run 4 of them on an 8 foot 300g, check my build thread for pictures. I am putting 95 par at the sand line in 27 inches of water only using 107 watts of the 277 available on these lights.
The BEST radion was the G4 at 210 watts, these flat smoke radions in growth preformance. And at HALF the price of the Radions, WIN WIN.
Not to mention INDUSTRY LEADING WARRANTY, 3 years. Also a Support Facebook page the Builder of these Lights, Daniel Wu is extremely active on, I have witnessed how he stands behind his product, it is what sold me on them originally.
